The Wild Man, on Bedford Street, used to be an asylum (hence the name) and is said to be haunted by the ghost of a wild German boy who was kept locked in the cellar and eventually perished in a fire.

The Wild Man, 29 Bedford Street.

"Occasionally I sleep in the flat above the pub. Sometimes at night you can hear the barrels in the cellar clanging together.

There are all sorts of other noises as well, but this is an old building," said Matt Nudd, the pub's manager.

"One of the girls who used to work here once saw a little boy run across the bar and disappear up the stairs, a previous manageress who was staying in the flat once awoke to find her clothes strewn around the hall, too.

"I don't think it's anything to worry about though, he's just a little boy who likes to cause mischief."
